Tessellating Patterns using Microsoft Word

Have you ever considered using Microsoft Word to teach tessellating
patterns?I usually have students start with a simple shape, such as a
rectangle or square. They then copy the shape and paste it next to the original
shape, leaving no gaps. Repeat the process. Students can then change the colours to make it more interesting.After that, students can experiment with
other shapes by choosing more complex shape options and rotating them to fit
into a tessellating pattern.

About Me

I am an accredited K-6 Primary School teacher from Sydney, Australia. I have taught Kindergarten for a year, Grade 2 for two years and am entering my second year of teaching Grade 3. This year I will be taking on board the role of team leader for my grade. I am currently teaching at an awesome school in the South-West Sydney district. I have a passion for technology and love finding new and exciting ways to integrate it into the classroom. I am looking forward to sharing my ideas with my fellow teaching community.
